Oh son of the biatch who was using the account of me and doing the typing as I have just had the notice that this thread has become the green thing. Someone was clearly apprehending the computer of me very much and this causes me much anger as I am the pretty girl with the funny typings and would not have the sexings with anyone with the room such as these. Disgusting you filthy liters.

wildcardjack:Ya know, I have a new keyboard in my closet just in case I do something nasty to the workhorse. I couldn't imagine smoking around my computers, let alone ashing all over my keyboard.

Are most of these squatters?

A good number of them appear to be. Considering this is from 4chan, a lot of them are probably on registries somewhere that require them to live a certain distance from schools, to the point that they can't legally exist anywhere.

My computer desk may be piled with papers and the room has more wiring in it than an underground utility tunnel, but I have zero food or beverages laying around. I already have enough problems with fruitflies and mice without giving them their own personal buffet in my apartment.

Porous Horace:Somewhere on the 'net is a story w/pics about a large roommate who was disgusting, one of her feats being shiatting the bed and simply covering it with another sheet (not shiat, sheet, I sheet you not).

Some adventurous person can find it and post a link or pics and we can all enjoy them while eating s'mores.

/good times

Was it this guy and his famous shiat lasagne bathtub? http://www.wyseguys.com/blag/shiatty-roommate/meet-jed/

I was just musing that this desktop could be cleaned off in 30 minutes, tops. One bucket, one large garbage bag, and a vacuum. Not deep cleaned, just cleaned off. That's assuming there's a toilet available, and I think there is, since there is no "solid" human waste. The walls and floor would be a bigger effort, for sure.

I have watched a couple of the hoarder shows, and understand that it is a mental illness. But this does not appear to be hoarding, this is sheer laziness.

Not so cool story: I had to set up an employee years ago with access from his home to work. He had had surgery and was housebound for a few weeks. Unfortunately, I had to go to his house and do some tweaking and training. It was the worst squalor I had ever seen in person. And his wife just sat there the whole time watching me. The worst part: The dirty, stinky socks piled next to his computer IN THE DINING ROOM. I had to go home, take a shower, and change clothes before going back to work. I never told anyone at work about it. He still works there.

Poor Kermit. I guess if you're going to fark a pig you're going to end up living like one.

I love how naive some of you farkers are. These aren't 'art projects', or visual illusions - these are nerds who live online and have lost all sense of pride in their homes, and who have decided that pissing in bottles is preferable to interrupting their gaming sessions.

Poverty doesn't really factor into this. My family was not well-off when I was growing up, and we never lived like this. This is full-on internet addiction shaping these environments.

/I'm thinking its time to stop stressing about the unsightly tangle of cords under my desk.//At least my keyboard isn't covered in diarrhoea.

The ones that were mostly clean and just lacked furniture or wallpaper.

Also, the one with the stuff rigged above the bed gets a pass for DIY-initiative and the fat fluffy white cat on the bed that most people probably didn't even notice; vacuum the carpet and I'm okay with it.

I've never had a keyboard this gross.[i.imgur.com image 850x637]

I don't understand how someone could use use that; just seeing the picture makes me want to vomit. The only thing I would ever willingly touch that for would be to move it into a garbage bag, and the only thing I would touch it with is the bag itself (and I would still wear gloves).

Sock Ruh Tease:Adjective Bird Whiskey: This one just seems more depressing than the others somehow.

I agree. It's the lone portrait on the wall that gets to me. It's the one and only thing that represents someone important to the owner of the room, and it's surrounded by squalor, filth, and a GameCube.

In June of this year, I cleaned my entire apartment. In so doing, I cleaned my bedroom and my computer room, neither of which had been properly cleaned since I had taken residence in 2007.

Absolutely no room of my apartment was as filthy as were the majority of rooms depicted at the linked site. While my computer room contained an extensive collection of clutter that I eventually discarded, the clutter consisted primarily of unused electronic components and a small quantity of packaging items for electronic devices. I admit to living uncleanly, but I will never leave perishable items lying in the open; when finished with any food item, I discard any remnants immediately.

Had my apartment appeared in a state similar to the majority of rooms depicted, I would have "cleaned" it with flammable chemicals and a lighter. I would have also, out of shame, remained inside of the apartment for the duration of the "cleaning".
